MS: No new Xbox for E3, 2013 launch reported by Bloomberg

All those rumors of the next Xbox being revealed at E3 2012? Microsoft PR says they’re just that.

According to tweets from Bloomberg’s Dina Bass (spotted by MCV) David Dennis, the head of corporate PR for Microsoft has stated that, “There will be no new Xbox hardware to be shown/discussed at E3 or anytime soon. For us, 2012 is all about Xbox 360.”

Xbox 360 consoles with Kinect could be yours for just $99 when bought with a two-year Xbox Live subscription, but that was before Microsoft quietly killed off the incentive, stating it was a “pilot experiment,” and nothing more. The ‘pilot’ lasted around two years.

We know that the next-gen Xbox reveal taking place tonight will show off next-gen FIFA and next-gen Call of Duty, but we expect that many of the big game announcements will be left for Microsoft’s E3 press conference. But it could be that we’ll find out something about Battlefield 4 at the imminent event.

Microsoft will reveal its next Xbox console on Tuesday, May 21 – that’s next week – and still rumors and reports are coming out of the woodwork with no signs of stopping. Today’s rumor pertains to dashboard UI and tile changes and the size of the console.
